* mac: validate mac_partition is within sectorKees Cook2015-11-201-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | If md->signature == MAC_DRIVER_MAGIC and md->block_size == 1023, a single 512 byte sector would be read (secsize / 512). However the partition structure would be located past the end of the buffer (secsize % 512).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Christoph put it: Can we just get rid of the warnings? It's fairly annoying as devices without partitions are perfectly fine and very useful. Me too I see this message every VM boot for ages on all my devices. Would love to just remove it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the 0xEE (GPT protective) as errors. However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

* partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lbaDavidlohr Bueso2013-09-151-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics, Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1]. Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value other than these.

* partitions/efi: detect hybrid MBRsDavidlohr Bueso2013-09-122-21/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension, or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures. While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting. In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that is being used.

* partitions/efi: do not require gpt partition to begin at sector 1Davidlohr Bueso2013-09-121-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems, it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check, apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1]. For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR. This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE partition's protection of GPT data structures. By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when probing for GPT disklabels.

* partitions/efi: use lba-aware partition recordsDavidlohr Bueso2013-09-122-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs. While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new 'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR, which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

This grew into adding a generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is also using it. - A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne. - Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID to be used as an identifier." * 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (609 commits) drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies drbd: Fix drbdsetup wait-connect, wait-sync etc... commands drbd: close race between drbd_set_role and drbd_connect drbd: respect no-md-barriers setting also when changed online via disk-options drbd: Remove obsolete check drbd: fixup after wait_even_lock_irq() addition to generic code loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface xen-blkfront: free allocated page xen-blkback: move free persistent grants code block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions init: reduce PARTUUID min length to 1 from 36 block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string cciss: use check_signature() cciss: cleanup bitops usage drbd: use copy_highpage drbd: if the replication link breaks during handshake, keep retrying drbd: check return of kmalloc in receive_uuids drbd: Broadcast sync progress no more often than once per second drbd: don't try to clear bits once the disk has failed ...
| * block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitionsStephen Warren2012-11-231-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the kernel command-line using the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01 Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
| * block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a stringStephen Warren2012-11-231-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings. Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a /PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

* | partitions: enable EFI/GPT support by defaultDiego Calleja2012-12-061-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Kconfig currently enables MSDOS partitions by default because they are assumed to be essential, but it's necessary to enable "advanced partition selection" in order to get GPT support. IMO GPT partitions are becoming common enought to deserve the same treatment MSDOS partitions get. (Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions) Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja <diegocg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* s390/partitions: make partition detection independent from DASD ioctlsStefan Weinhuber2012-09-261-183/+272
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver. The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and provides a correct disk geometry. This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are still restricted to real DASDs: - An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label. - An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk with inconsistent device geometry.

* LDM: Fix reassembly of extended VBLKs.Anton Altaparmakov2012-02-241-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these fragments must be assembled before further processing. Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <anton@tuxera.com>
